Fire Resistance Rated Construction

Quiz Questions:

   
1. The annular space is the space created between the outer surface of a penetrating item and the construction penetrated if left unfilled, which provides a means of free passage of smoke, fire and products of combustion.
       
    True
    False
       
2. A listed device installed in a ceiling membrane of a fire-resistance-rated floor/ceiling or roof/ceiling assembly to limit automatically the radiative heat transfer through an air inlet/out let opening is ______________.
       
    Combination fire/smoke damper
    Ceiling Radiation damper
       
3. Draft stopping is not required in concealed combustible spaces to limit the movement of air, smoke and other products of combustion.
       
    True
    False
       
4. Any combination of a fire door, frame, hard ware, and other accessories that together provide a specific degree of fire protection to the opening is __________________.

6. Membrane Penetration is an opening made through one side (wall, floor or ceiling membrane) of an assembly.
       
    True
    False
       
7. Examples of single membrane penetration are represented in __________________________.
       
    Figure 702.1(9)

    Smoke Compartment
    Smoke Damper
       
9. The result of a factory and/or field method of joining or connecting two or more lengths of a fire-resistant joint system into a continuous entity is a ________________.
       
    Shaft
    Splice
       
10. Type I or II construction shall be of noncombustible materials or combustible materials.
       
    True
    False
       
11. Figure 704.7 illustrates how to determine the equivalent opening factor (Feo).
       
    True
    False
       
12. In equation 7-2, Au represents ______________________.
       
    Allowable area of unprotected openings
    Actual area of unprotected openings
       
13. Figure 704.9(1) represents ________________________.
       
    Exterior wall vertical flame barrier
    Exterior wall horizontal flame barrier
       
14. A parapet need not be provided on an exterior wall where the building has an area of not more than 1,000 square feet (93 m2) on any floor.
       
    True
    False
       
15. Fire walls shall extend to the outer edge of horizontal projecting elements such as balconies, roof over hangs, canopies, marquees and similar projections that are within 4 feet (1220 mm) of the fire wall.
       
    True
    False
